Attention latex fetishists. Take a break from polishing your corset and enjoy Dressing for Pleasure. John Samson’s remarkable documentary short was made in 1977 and had a huge impact on the UK fashion and punk scenes. The film is strange, funny and never judges its subjects, giving us a peek at a sexual subculture that was already thriving nearly four decades before Fifty Shades.

Do you like to be aurally aroused? A new study confirms that listening to new music stimulates the same pleasure response in the brain as having sex. The scientists were studying brain activity in an effort to predict people’s music buying patterns.

“What makes music so emotionally powerful is the creation of expectations. Activity in the nucleus accumbens is an indicator that expectations were met or surpassed, and in our study we found the more activity we see in this brain area while people are listening to music, the more money they are willing to spend.”

The article notes that this is similar to what happens in the brain during other pleasurable activities.

Similar connections were also seen between the nucleus accumbens and other brain areas involved in high level sequencing, complex pattern recognition and assigning emotional and reward value to stimuli.

In other words, the brain assigns value to music through the ancient reward circuitry of dopamine which reinforces behaviours absolutely necessary for our survival – such as eating and sex.

Is the porn industry racist? That’s the headline of this interesting article in The Root, which talks to porn legend Lexington Steele on the challenges faced by black porn performers. One of the biggest issues is that many white female performers will not do scenes with black men. These biases exist in spite of the enormous popularity of interracial porn. Steele explains:

“It’s definitely something that exists, and I think it’s something that’s built within the fabric of the industry, because if you look at the individuals that are in positions of authority over some of the white females, the ones governing them are the ones implementing this practice of no interracial.”

The article goes on to discuss other problems encountered by people of color in the industry. Black women are typically paid less than white women, a claim backed up by porn star Misty Stone. To read more, click on over toThe Root.

A great photograph is all about timing. This Australian couple saw one of Google’s Street View cars approaching and decided to photobomb the world. Well played. But not everyone is thrilled with our brave new world of omnipresent cameras. Some strip clubs are already pre-emptively banning customers from wearing Google Glass.

Bill Gates wants to promote sexual health by reinventing the latex condom. To accomplish this, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is offering $100,000 to the designer with the best idea. And they may have found a winner in the Origami Condom.

Creator and company founder, Danny Resnic, told The Huffington Post. “We are trying to create a condom that feels great and is much closer to the real deal to encourage people to use them.”

Origami Condoms look like a hybrid of the traditional condom and a male masturbation sleeve. The name comes from “origami,” the Japanese art of paper-folding, and sure enough, the segments of the condom unfold as it is rolled down a penis. They also move during intercourse, stroking the shaft and adding stimulation for the wearer.

Initial trials have been very positive, and the company has already attracted investors and condom makers who want license the design. Meanwhile, Resnic is working on an improvement to the female condom and developing the world’s first condom for anal intercourse. We’re curious to see what he comes up with next. Would you try the Origami Condom?

Last week, we asked you about the Wake-up Vibe, a combination alarm clock and adult toy that promises to rouse you with sweet vibrations. 60% of our readers said it was a snooze while 40% were ready to rise to the occasion. It’s a neat idea, but maybe the Wake-up Vibe is just ahead of its time.

This week, we introduce you to Buxxer. He’s the yellow guy in the middle up above. We don’t know much about him, as this photo was snapped at the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas just a few hours ago. We assume that button on his belly triggers vibrations in his pointy helmet, giving his user the same look of surprise on his cute little face.

We need help deciding if Buxxer belongs in our store. Since attraction is all about first impressions, you tell us. Would you hop aboard Buxxer’s vibrating helmet? Or are you just toying with his affections? Take our poll.

People eat all kinds of weird shit. Eggs are the menstruation of chickens. Milk is the mammary excretion from cows. Semen is… at least it’s fresh and you know who the producer is.

Well, he does have a point. Still, if you’re going to try this at home, may we suggest making your elixir just a little sweeter first? Oh, and we have some drink stirrers that just might work for the occasion.
